The laws of the colors are unutterably beautiful, just because they are not accidental.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I've just kept on ceaselessly painting in order to learn painting.
Vincent Van Gogh
Image
I shouldn't precisely have chosen madness if there had been any choice, but once such a thing has taken hold of you, you can't very well get out of it.
